The study was conducted with view of establishment technology of production and to reduce the scarcity of fodder to the livestock. A solar operated hydroponic system was designed in the area 150 ft2 with bamboo sticks and shade net at the Technology Park, CTAE, Udaipur. Unit consist of 4 shelves with bamboo stand having production capacity of 30kg per day. Plastic trays were used for fodder production, automatic irrigation system controlled with Arduino and solar panel with battery buckup used for power supply. The 10th day fodder was harvested and laboratory test were carried out to study the content of crude protein, crude fibre, Ether extract and total ash. Three Maize seed rates were selected for the chemical analysis i.e. 600g, 750g, 900g per tray. Test shows that highest crude protein and ether extract was observed in 900g/tray hydroponic fodder 14.81 %, 3.01 % respectively.
